The Vanguard Endeavor ED II 10x42 binocular is made with Japanese Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass for enhanced light transmission, superb color fidelity and sharper image quality. Vanguard Endeavor ED II are phase-coated roof prism binoculars made with BaK-4 glass prisms. To this, Vanguard adds full multi-coating to all air-glass surfaces to maximize light throughput, and a silver coating to provide greater sharpness and image vividness. The 10x42 Endeavor ED II is a full-sized binocular, weighing just 27.2 ounces, but still delivering an impressive 340-foot field of view at 1000 yards and a 6.5-foot minimum close focus. All Vanguard Endeavor ED binoculars are o-ring sealed and nitrogen-purged to be completely waterproof and internally fog-proof. The open bridge design, 3-position adjustable eyecups and 18 mm of eye relief ensure that the Vanguard 10x42 Endeavor ED II binocular is comfortable for any user. Vanguard Endeavor ED II binoculars come with a padded carrying case and a strap and are protected by a premium lifetime warranty.

In Depth Features:

ED glass: The Vanguard ED series bring about a remarkably sharp resolution and contrast-rich image thanks to their Extra-low Dispersion Glass or ED Glass for short. It is used in the finest optics and used by professionals who require the details in an image to be clear and bright. The ED Glass reduces ‘color-fringing’ thanks to its ability to keep differing wavelengths of light together which also increases the resolution of the image so that all details are bright, and color-accurate as in the image above.

Multi-Layer Lens Coatings: This basically means that the lenses have received multiple layers of anti-reflective coatings on all air-to-glass surfaces which increase light transmission to produce a brighter image and therefore better low light performance. Anti-reflective coatings can make a really big difference on the brightness of the image produced. It is not unusual to look through binoculars with smaller objective lenses, but with higher quality anti-reflection coatings and seen them outperform binoculars with much larger objective lenses, but with fewer or no coatings. The diagram above shows how these coatings improve the transmission of light.
